Liner Notes

Hello Music Friends,

Welcome to my first new album in many a long year, Plenty of Gold. It features 17 original songs in a wide range of Americana styles.If you appreciate variety, as well as good singing, catchy melodies and meaningful lyrics, Plenty of Gold is your kind of music.

The album kicks off with Still Playing Rock 'n' Roll, a ragged, rowdy salute to rock's pioneers and their enduring legacy. Next up is Sun Power Me, a fun-loving paean to the many benefits of solar power. What follows are love songs, philosophical musings and songs of spiritual reflection (and even more love songs).

On several cuts, I‘ve hearkened back to the great music of the doo-wop era and worked elements of it into my country-folk-rock material, here and there, to give it a whole new flavor. In doing so, I hope I also captured a touch of what made early rock ‘n’ roll so special, namely, FUN! (Check out Life of a Comic Book Hero to see what I mean.)

Thanks for your interest and for supporting independent music artists like me.
